Edward Jones is being sued by four investor clients who allege the firms’ advisors have “unlawfully shift[ed] their commission-based accounts to a fee-based program” over the past five years in what they refer to as “a reverse-churning scheme.”

The class-action suit was filed last week in an Eastern District of California court by plaintiffs Edward Anderson, Raymond Keith Corum, Jesse Worthington and Colleen Worthington. The plaintiffs are represented by counsel from the Garner Law Office in WIllows, California, and Franklin D. Azar & Associates in Aurora, Colorado.
